I think being 'easier' in a Rails app is debatable. Facebook authentication certainly isn't 'hard'.

IMO OpenID is an awful user experience, I much prefer using Facebook. But that point is certainly debatable as well.

It has similar Allow/Deny UX as Facebook and opens you up to major email providers like Google and Yahoo as well as the plethora of other providers and ones such StackExchange if you're creating a technical site/app. Having only Facebook as an auth alienates 1/3rd of the US population.
